Bozeman, MONTANA June 16, 2011 – Relief supplies continue to be delivered throughout Montana by the American Red Cross.

On Thursday, the Red Cross will be in Lewis and Clark County to make door-to-door deliveries of clean-up kits to families. A total of 500 kits were assembled in Bozeman Wednesday by members of Boy Scout Troop 614 and the Big Sky Youth Center.

The groups worked in concert with area health and safety instructors and chapter employees to ensure a surplus of kits would be ready for remote delivery in areas from Lewis and Clark to Cascade County, Thursday morning.

Sheltering and feeding continue at Crow Agency to ensure families unable to return to homes have a safe place to stay. Tuesday night, the Crow Multipurpose Center showed an overnight shelter population of 45.

On Wednesday, the Red Cross served 319 meals at Crow Agency, and since Saturday has served 240 meals at Harlem in Blaine County.

Volunteers continue arriving from across the U.S. to aid the operation. 125 volunteers and staff are helping in the relief efforts.

Announcement

We will be changing our Disaster Online Newsroom format in the upcoming weeks (we will be rolling everything into a new webpage/format that will be easier to read/search). As part of the transition, we will be doing a weekly update (on Fridays) that will recap what disasters we're responding to across the country. Additionally, we will be posting any time sensitive disaster updates from our chapters. As part of the transition to our new Disaster format, we will not be regularly posting images or stories from the field - you can find those at .
